After it secured 1.5 million dollars and another 6 millions in seed investment, American-Slovenian communications platform for apps Layer announced that it raised 14.5 million in Series A funding from Homebrew, AME Cloud Ventures, CrunchFund, Fuel Capital and others.

Layer, the slovenian-american startup that we’ve already written about, has won Techcrunch Disrupt Startup Battlefield in San Francisco, at the same time confirming a seed investment of 1.5 million dollars from a number of funds, including Michael Arrington’s CrunchFund and Bloomberg Beta.

Layer is a new tech startup with roots in Southeastern Europe co-founded by ex-Vox.io CEO Tomaž Štolfa and Grand Central CTO Ron Palmeri.

Exclusively for Netocratic, Tomaž shares the startup’s whole story and vision.
